NVC is beginning to drive my Fiancee(K 1 visa) and myself crazy with all the waiting we have done and the uncertainty about how much longer it is going to take. It has been two full month already since we are stuck at the NVC, which is supposed to be an intermediary agency between the USCIS and the Consulate in Moscow, with a maximum waiting period of 4 weeks. I have called the NVC about 5 times and everytime i get "Administrative Review" for an answer, with no other help or explanation. Two month is extraordinary, especially considering that some petitioners got through the NVC in just a couple of days.
I would really like to find out any thoughts, reasons, explanations, or experiences from the people whom have waited at this stage for an unusual amount of time. What can i do besides waiting, and whether there is any other solution. It is already beginning to be a third month, a new year of waiting. I just don't understand what can be the problem at NVC and what is the limit of waiitng at NVC for a K1?

Alex,

I have waited for about 3 months, had the same situation, called them every day with the same answer. I wrote to my congressman, also the same answer was given. One day I called comming back from work and the operator said that the case has been finished and will be forwared to the embassy tomorrow. I had to stop the car, ask her to repeat it again, then call again and talk to another operator to confirm it. The wait is tough, but when it comes through, you'll be a happy man.


Good luck,

Mike.

I agree that the NVC can be frustrating. We have waited for over 4 months and they just completed our case two days ago. Who knows how long it will take them to send it to the consulate now. It is super hard to be patient but that's probably the only advice I could give you. Best of luck! Maybe yours will start moving soon.
